The following example to check both date’s months are same or not and give the result in True/False.

Date 1
Date 2
Function
2
26-Jan-20
20-Jan-20
TRUE
=MONTH(A2)=MONTH(B2)
3
15/08/19
15/06/19
FALSE
=MONTH(A3)=MONTH(B3)
4
10/11/2019
10/11/2019
FALSE
=MONTH(A4)=MONTH(B4)
5
10
11
6
=MONTH(A4)
=MONTH(B4)
7

In cell A4 and B4, you can see both dates are looking same but the result is showing False.

This is because in cell A4, date format is mm/dd/yyyy and month number is 10.

But in cell B4, date format is dd/mm/yyyy and month number is 11.
